Boots Essentials Cucumber Facial Wash review

Image
Almost a month ago I shared with you my review of Boots Essentials Fragrance Free Eye Make Up Remover Lotion ( see the post here ) and today I have another product to show you from Boots Essentials range. I purchased  Boots Essentials Cucumber Facial Wash in early December, because it was really cheap (it cost 1.50£) and with 3 for 2 offer I ended up paying only 1£ for it. On Boots website this facial wash is described as a product enriched with soothing cucumber and vitamins. It is promised to effectively remove makeup and excess oils leaving skin thoroughly cleansed and refreshed. My opinion of Boots Essentials Cucumber Facial Wash Boots Cucumber Facial Wash comes in a plastic tube with very simple design. The facial wash itself is green and it has nice cucumber scent. Once applied on wet skin it lathers nicely. For some reason it reminds me more of a shower gel then a typical facial wash. It usually makes my skin nicely clean, but sometimes when I'm wearing more makeup, the...

Beauty Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid

  The substance named Hyaluronic acid is present within the human body and forms an integral part of our skin tissue. This acid is present within our eyes and joints, however it is abundant in our skin. The skincare industry relies heavily upon the use of hyaluronic acid owing to its benefits. This substance is rich in hydrating properties that help to eliminate effects of ageing. In addition, anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant properties are also abundant in this substance, which is why it has been dubbed as the ‘fountain of youth’. Its texture is viscous and when applied topically it blends into the skin without leaving any noticeable residue. Do you need hyaluronic acid? Discoveries in the beauty and cosmetic industry have revealed that serums and creams containing this acid soothe, moisturize and heal one’s skin. More and more women are employing hyaluronic acid creams to combat fine lines and other signs of ageing, since this substance makes skin resilient and plump. Wome...

OOTD: floral blazer and light blue maxi skirt from Aliexpress

Image
Last week I showed you this floral blazer from Sheinside.com paired with a pair of jeans ( see the post here ). For my today's outfit post I paired Sheinside floral blazer with yellow tube top and light blue maxi skirt from Aliexpress. [caption id="attachment_8865" align="aligncenter" width="650"] Purchased by me; PR Sample; Affiliate links[/caption] I ordered this maxi skirt last spring from Aliexpress. When it comes to Aliexpress then I have kind of love-hate relationship with it. You can find great stuff from there that doesn't cost a fortune and has good quality and then there is a bunch of stuff that doesn't cost much, but that is total rubbish - starting from clothes that have non-existent quality and ugly fake handbags to knockoff cosmetics that is made of who-knows-what. So last year I wanted a maxi skirt that would be really a maxi (I'm 175cm tall and therefore some maxis just aren't maxi for me, if you know what I mean). I...
